SAN FRANCISCO — <\/span>On the final day of the trip, we jumped on the MUNI and headed in the direction of Golden Gate Park<\/span><\/a> which is actually several miles south of the Golden Gate. After a short walk through the park, we entered the Conservatory of Flowers<\/span><\/a> which was he first of its kind when it opened in 1879. We enjoyed our time there, spending about an hour. Adult admission was $5 each.<\/p>\n

We then headed in the direction of the Japanese Tea Garden<\/span>. Along the way we saw this statue of Don Quixote<\/span> and Sancho Panza<\/span> (he’s on Quixote’s left) looking up at Miguel Cervantes.<\/p>\n

I have two<\/a> others<\/a> <\/span>as well.<\/p>\n

When we arrived at the Tea Garden<\/span><\/a>, the sun had come out. We wandered around for about an hour taking many photographs of the garden. I’m partial to Japanese gardens and this one was quite beautiful. We also sat down and had tea which came to $8.67 for the two of us. Admission to the Tea Garden was $4 each.<\/p>\n

I learned from the Web site that the fortune cookie was invented by Makoto Hagiwara<\/span>, one of the original landscape designers of the Tea Garden.<\/p>\n

We concluded our trip to the park following the Tea Garden. David picked us up and we headed out to Ocean Beach.<\/p>\n
